Our style may be as fresh as tomorrow, but we go way back — to 1853.

Since
its introduction in 1986, the Dockers® brand has been perfecting khakis
— and the essential goods to go with them — for men and women all over
the world.
But the Dockers® brand is proud to be part of Levi
Strauss & Co., a business with a history that goes back even farther
to Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis creating the first blue jean in 1853.
Throughout our long history we’ve inspired change in the marketplace,
the workplace and the world. Levi Strauss & Co. is dedicated to
making authentic products in a way that also gives back to the community
and supports the people who produce our clothes.

Our Values

Empathy

Walking in Other People’s Shoes

Empathy
begins with paying close attention to the world around us. We listen
and respond to the needs of our customers, employees and other
stakeholders.

Integrity

Doing the Right Thing

Integrity
means doing right by our employees, brands, company and society as a
whole. Ethical conduct and social responsibility characterize our way of
doing business.

Originality

Being Authentic and Innovative

The
pioneering spirit that started in 1873 with the very first pair of blue
jeans still permeates all aspects of our business. Through innovative
products and practices, we break the mold.

Courage

Standing Up for What We Believe

It
takes courage to be great. Courage is the willingness to tell the truth
and to challenge hierarchy, accepted practice and conventional wisdom.
It means standing by our convictions and acting on our beliefs.

Social Responsibility

We take a lot of pride in our products - and how we make them.

Our company is committed to building sustainability into every aspect of how we operate.
That’s
why Levi Strauss & Co. commissioned a lifecycle study of a pair of
Dockers Original Khakis to study the full environmental impact of our
pants.
What did we learn? Some of the biggest impacts
occur in two places we don’t control – the cotton fields and your hands
after they leave our shelves. So we’re working to promote sustainably
grown Better Cotton
and sharing tips to help you change your laundry habits: wash less,
wash in cold, line dry when you can, and donate unused clothing so it
can be used again. We’re also partnering with our factories to use less
energy and water in the production process, and reducing the
environmental impacts of shipping our clothes.

The people who make your clothes

In
1991, Levi Strauss & Co. published our Terms of Engagement,
protecting the rights of the workers who make your clothes. This
groundbreaking document also ensures safe, healthy and human working
conditions. We’ve long been an industry leader in worker rights and
continue our efforts to improve apparel workers’ lives, both in and out
of the factory.

Giving back in our communities

In
1854, a year after starting his company, founder Levi Strauss donated
to a local orphanage. In that spirit, our employees have been giving
back to the communities where we operate for more than 150 years. Their
involvement strengthens communities from San Francisco to Singapore, and
their volunteer efforts help local organizations. We encourage
employees to support charitable organizations with their time, talent
and money by offering them paid time off to volunteer.
Social Responsibility is deeply embedded into our products, our culture and our business
